One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 244 The Returning Captains and the Strongest Man Shed Tears!

The scene then returns to the devastated and smoke-filled central square of Marineford.

After successfully covering the main force's retreat towards the bay, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard remained alone at the rear.

Its tall and majestic body was like an insurmountable wall of sighs.

He single-handedly faced off against the Navy's top combat power—Fleet Admiral "Sengoku the Buddha" and Admiral "Aokiji" Kuzan.

Having escaped any ambush, this strongest man in the world is currently at his absolute peak, possessing unparalleled strength, with boundless power within him like a vast ocean.

"Gurarararara!"

Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh that shook the heavens and earth, brandishing the Supreme Grade Sword "Murakumogiri" wrapped in deep, high-level Armament Haki.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, and the domineering shockwave shattered the extremely cold icy river that had spread from the ground, turning it into countless ice shards.

Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard charged forward without backing down, exchanging several heavy punches with Sengoku, who had transformed into a giant golden Buddha!

"Boom—!"

Pure power and shockwaves surged wildly in the center of the square.

The terrifying impact tore the already dilapidated Marineford Square apart, creating countless bottomless abysses and ravines.

Zhan Guo's face turned ashen, and he clenched his teeth.

Looking at this remnant of the old era before him, a storm raged in his heart.

Even when facing an attack from two top-tier fighters, Whitebeard remained as fierce as a tiger, showing no signs of weakness.

Sengoku understood that this man seemed to be planning to use his last breath as fuel to drag the entire Navy Headquarters down with him.

Just as the battle reached a suffocating stalemate, a dazzling golden cross suddenly flashed in the sky above the battlefield.

Admiral Kizaru astutely spotted a tiny flaw in Whitebeard's transitions and wide, sweeping attacks.

Without hesitation, he transformed into a shower of golden photons, appearing instantly in the white-bearded man's blind spot like a ghost.

"Oh dear~ I've found a weakness, Whitebeard!"

Kizaru pouted, and his long, slender right leg shimmered with a destructive, dazzling golden light.

He prepared to deliver a powerful kick at the speed of light, enough to shatter a mountain, aiming for the white-bearded man's opening.

At this critical moment!

A clear, melodious sound suddenly rang out from the sky, and a dazzling yellow-blue flame, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, descended from the heavens!

"Bang!"

Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, flapped his wings, which were burning with blue flames.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, relying on the powerful regeneration and defensive capabilities of the Mythical Zoan species to forcefully block Kizaru's deadly light-speed kick.

The immense impact propelled him backward several meters, but he managed to firmly protect his father's flank.

With the buffer time Marco bought him, Whitebeard's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed a powerful, heavy air-shaking punch!

"Snap!"

The air shattered, and a violent shockwave slammed directly into Kizaru's chest, forcing the Marine Admiral to retreat backward in a burst of light.

Kizaru, who had re-formed in the distance, dusted himself off and gave a helpless smirk.

"How annoying~"

"Every time I'm about to succeed at a crucial moment, someone always appears to get in my way..."

With the crisis averted, Whitebeard stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Marco, who was panting heavily beside him.

He deliberately put on a stern face, laughing loudly as he questioned in a stern voice:

"Marco, you stupid son, are you going to disobey your father's last order?"

Hearing his father's reprimand, Marco slowly retracted the phoenix wings on his back.

He did not back down, but took a step forward with unwavering determination and stood firmly beside the white-bearded man.

Marco looked at the white-bearded man's weathered face, a carefree smile playing on his lips:

"Sorry, Dad."

"This is the only time I can't listen to you."

"I'm not going to leave you here alone and abandon you..."

"You wouldn't want us sons to lose our father today, would you?"

Upon hearing these heartfelt words, the white-bearded man paused for a moment, then raised his head and let out a laugh that shook the heavens:

"Gurarararara!"

"In that case, let's have a good, satisfying battle right here, father and son!"

Before he finished speaking, the white-bearded man's aura surged once more.

He swung his massive naginata, slashing through the space in front of him, and the violent shockwave forced Sengoku, who was trying to approach, back again.

However, the space left for them is getting smaller and smaller.

All around them, thousands of elite naval troops, under the strict command of admirals and other officers, were slowly encircling the two men, brandishing muskets and swords, marching in orderly steps, determined to trap them in the center.

Just when the encirclement was about to completely close in, leaving them in a desperate situation with no way to escape.

Behind the battlefield, on the sea leading out of the bay, a wild and arrogant roar suddenly resounded:

"Dad! Have you forgotten about us sons?!"

"Marco! You damn birdman, aren't you moving way too fast? You didn't even wait for us!"

The familiar voice made both the white-bearded man and Marco turn their heads at the same time.

Amidst those shouts, the squad leaders who should have already safely escorted Sabo, Ace, Luffy, the unconscious Victor, and the main force back to the support ship...

"Diamond" Jozu, "Floral" Vista, and others have all returned!

Moreover, among them was Jinbe, the "Knight of the Sea" with blue skin and a burly physique.

These renowned warriors, though covered in the black ash of gunpowder and the blood of their enemies, some even had bandages wrapped around their bodies.

But now, they marched through the ruins with overwhelming momentum, returning to Whitebeard's side and standing shoulder to shoulder with their father.

Looking at this group of "foolish sons" who disobeyed his last captain's orders and should have escaped to the new world on a warship, but instead stubbornly came back to their deaths.

This world's strongest man, who had traversed the oceans for decades and endured countless life-and-death ordeals, was completely stunned at this moment.

The massive Murakumogiri hung limply at his side, the white-bearded man's chest heaving violently.

"Woo la la la la la!"

Whitebeard suddenly couldn't stop himself from throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

He laughed heartily, his laughter tinged with helplessness, pride, and boundless emotion.

As he laughed, his eyes gradually reddened, and hot tears welled up in his deep eyes.

Tears streamed down his signature white crescent-shaped beard and fell onto the cold ground.

"How...embarrassing!"

"They actually made me shed tears in front of so many navy soldiers!"

Then, the white-bearded man's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Buzz—!!!"

A surge of Conqueror's Haki, resembling a materialized dark red lightning bolt, erupted from his massive body like a dormant volcano that had been dormant for millennia.

This Conqueror's Haki was more ferocious and pure than ever before.

The nearby elite naval forces that were preparing to surround them, and even many generals, were all greatly shocked by this domineering aura that struck their very souls.

Their eyes rolled back, and they fell down in swathes like wheat being harvested, instantly clearing out a large area around them.

The wind howled, and the white-bearded man's voice echoed amidst the red lightning:

"But you bunch of idiots... you're all my most beloved children!"

"so……"

Whitebeard raised his thick arm and forcefully wiped away the tears from the corner of his eye.

His muscles bulged violently in an instant, and his veins bulged like dragons under his skin, his aura rising to a terrifying peak.

In order to ensure the survival of these disobedient sons, and to sever their thoughts of dying alongside him in battle.

This great father actually gritted his teeth and swung the huge naginata high in his hand!

He imbued the back of his sword with Armament Haki and Vibration Power, preparing to launch a merciless attack on the squad captains he trusted most!

He planned to use this most barbaric method to force them back into the sea outside the bay.

"Dad..."

Seeing their father's resolute gaze and the massive naginata swinging towards them, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and the other captains gritted their teeth.

Their eyes were glistening with tears, but not one of them chose to back down.

They stood tall, ready to bear the weight of their father's love, as heavy as a mountain.

Just as Whitebeard's naginata, carrying the force of destruction, was about to smash down on the captains, at the critical moment...

A deep, calm voice, yet exuding boundless composure and domineering power, suddenly rang out clearly above the noisy battlefield, instantly drowning out all the sounds of artillery fire and battle cries.

"This is quite...unexpectedly lively."
